  • by Grace Thompson For whatever reason, one day, Lily suddenly appeared and asked Billy to hunt with her group the next day. She looked pretty proud of something, and when Billy used Appraisal, he knew the reason why… she had learned Firing Speed. As usual, she wanted to show off. "It looks like she has some talent, but she isn't that diligent… that is why I learned it first," Billy thought. In the end, Billy asked Alexander to come with him since he would feel bad about leaving him behind again. He gladly accepted…
  • by Grace Thompson While Billy wasn't making Archery level up by doing that, he practiced what Lily told him to: the movements of firing an arrow. He had a feeling that it was the same type of training he did to learn Light Spear, so it clearly wasn't a waste of time. "Maybe if I refine this stance, I can learn that skill that Leo has, the one that probably increases firing speed," Billy thought. "I have no idea how to learn the others, though." Now that Billy thought about it, having a high firing speed will make him…
  • by Grace Thompson Upon arriving in the forest, Billy raised his guard since it was pretty dense and it would be hard to identify upcoming attacks or attackers in such a place, but Leo looked pretty calm. Was that confidence or arrogance? Both? Billy was pretty sure he had the skills to back his arrogance, but… he recalled the incident before where he got his balls smashed by a five-year-old. After walking for a couple of minutes, the group suddenly stopped in an area between trees that were large enough to camp. They…
  • by Grace Thompson Since Billy couldn't use magic and he was too small to fight the enemies with a spear, he decided to train earnestly with the bow. Training Light Spear will have to be done by using it whenever possible. As for training with the bow, he would use both the traditional and use the system to improve it. At first, when Billy carried his bow and his target to the post, the others frowned, and they frowned, even more when he stopped sparring with the others and trained with the bow whenever possible. However,…
  • by Grace Thompson By using Steel Spear at the same time, Drew and four other guards destroyed the walls, but that gave the enemies enough time to attack again. Instead of some single-target spell, they pointed their hands toward the same place and poured the mana into the creation of a tornado. In just a few moments, the powerful phenomena became twenty meters tall and forced Drew and the others to retreat since the powerful winds were starting to pull them. Fortunately, the elementalists needed all their focus to…
  • by Grace Thompson Even Billy was surprised with the result of his attack… while he aimed at the target's head, it couldn't be helped that he missed that since he was one hundred meters away. Nevertheless, with that attack, he managed to shock the enemies and made them slow down, giving Drew and the others the chance to dash toward them at a fearsome speed. "I thought that they would have resistance against magic attacks since they probably train against each other… but maybe since their HP is low, even an attack like…
  • by Grace Thompson The most obvious answer was to learn Earth Manipulation and fix the walls. They had the materials to fix it, but they didn't have the time, and Billy was pretty sure that using those stones could be possible with Earth Manipulation. However, that would draw attention to him. How would he explain how he learned the enemies' magic so suddenly? That wouldn't work. Besides, it was hard to tell how the people in the town would react while seeing one of their own using magic. Something that caused problems to…
  • by Grace Thompson For the first month, Billy didn't experience any difficulties with the work as a guard. However, he didn't drop his guard since everyone else looked pretty much troubled. Apparently, it was rare for the elementalists not to attack the town for such a long time… Billy considered himself lucky because he had more time to train with the adults, and unlucky, because he didn't have the chance to see their magic. Regardless, exactly one month after he joined the guard, they came… "Go alert the other…
  • by Grace Thompson By joining the guards, all the recruits also gained access to a set of armor and weapons. While Billy could use armor, he felt more comfortable without them, but not using a new weapon wasn't an option. "This weapon might be a bit big for you right now, but it will be better if you get used to it as soon as possible," Drew said while passing to Billy the weapon that was almost twice as big as him. "It looks like it is a good day today, so I will show you how we do our work." Unlike the armor, the…
  • by Grace Thompson Billy didn't have to practice those skills in the training ground, and since no one wanted to spar with him, then he had no reason to go. To save time, he began to practice in the area in front of his home. After one month, his hands and feet were so wounded that he had to take a break for a few days to let them heal. Unfortunately, while Spearmanship leveled up, he didn't obtain the skill. "My thrust attack obviously got a lot better, but it isn't on the level necessary…" Billy thought. "Do I have to…
